Cedar Keys Gulf View Strangers visit
ing Cedar Keys will be well repaid for the
time spent in visit to the
Faber and Eagle Pencil saw mills,
where is prepared much of the stock
which enters into the worlds supply of
pencils. In our early days we remember
that many persons used gold and silver
cased pencils. These are generally re
placed by the red cedar pencil, the manu-
facture of which is great and profitable
industry. 1t is not generally known that
the worlds supply of pencil wood is drawn
frem the Gulf coast swamps on both
sides of Cedar Keys, and that the
product of the mills here is shipped not
only to the New York and New Jersey fac
tories, but also to Germany, and, perhaps,
other countries of Europe. The industry
here gives employment to hundreds of ope-
ratives, white and black, and disburses
large sums of money. That nothing may
be lost, tile sawdust is distilled in large
retorts, and the oil extracted, every ounce
of which finds ready sale. There is another
smaller mill, operated by the firm of F. A.
Wolfe d CO., merchants, and another at
Crystal river, belonging to the Dixon Cru
chile Company, of Jersey City, and still an
other at Elizey, saving, we believe, for a
Philadelphia firm.
